BROOKLYN --

It was a violent and deadly night on the streets of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Wednesday, with five people shot in two separate incidents.

The first shooting happened on a basketball court inside St. Andrew's playground, where a 32-year-old man died after being shot in the chest. A 45-year-old woman was also shot in the abdomen and a 36-year-old man in the right leg. Both surviving victims were taken to Kings County Hospital and both are listed in stable condition.

About an hour later and just a mile away, two more people were shot on Park Place and Buffalo Avenue.

Both victims were rushed to the hospital, where at least one of them is in critical condition.
